<DIV><p>Things Unsaid' is the author's own choice of poems from a writing career that spans nearly half a century. It draws on seven published collections and includes many uncollected and new poems.</p><p>Tony Connor left school at fourteen and worked as a textile designer in Manchester for many years. His poems - often, as he terms it, quasi-autobiographical - combine memory, experience and imagination with firm craftsmanship. The results are remarkable for their precision, their wry humour and broad human sympathies.</p><p>Since 1971 Tony Connor has lived partly in Middletown, Connecticut where he was a professor of English at Wesleyan University. His plays have been performed on both sides of the Atlantic. He now divides his time between Middletown and London.</p></DIV>
